Enhance Your Holiday Look with these Pretty Jewelry Picks
Looking to add a little festive cheer to your everyday outfit or accessorize your LBD for an upcoming holiday party? Accessories are the ultimate finishing touch to any look, but where do you start without ending up resembling a Christmas tree?
When it comes to holiday jewelry, it’s all about embracing the Christmas color palette of vivid green, gold, sparkly silver, and shades of red and maroon, ringing in the new year with chunky statement pieces or a modern set of pearls. All while keeping your wardrobe relatively simple!
Here are some of my favorite holiday jewelry pieces to wear this season that will look perfect with everything from your stylish tops and kitschy sweaters to your most elegant cocktail dresses.
Tiffany’s Green Tourmaline and Diamond Pendant
This dazzling platinum pendant with green tourmaline and diamonds is the perfect statement piece for this holiday season. Drape it over your turtleneck sweater or bare décolletage to instantly enhance your holiday look, and be prepared to be the main focus of the event. This showstopper stands alone and doesn’t need to be paired with any other sparkle. But despite its boldness, this tourmaline pendant is also utterly classic in its design, infusing sophistication into any outfit.
David Yurman’s Starburst Cluster Earrings
Dress up your lobes with this magical pair of Starburst Cluster earrings in 18 kt yellow gold with pave diamonds. Without a doubt, these earrings will earn their keep, as you’ll surely be wearing them well beyond the holidays.
They will look equally as mesmerizing worn with a satin gold dress as they would your favorite T-shirt and jeans. Versatile and beautiful, they really are the perfect holiday accessory for making things twinkle just a little bit brighter.
Bulgari’s Monete Necklace
Oozing with holiday glamor, this spectacular 18 kt rose gold choker features an ancient coin and pave diamonds for a truly timeless look.
The brand is known for incorporating Rome’s Imperial glory into its designs, and this bold and modern Monete necklace is certainly no exception.
Pair it with a white boat neck blouse or V-neck sweater to bring your holiday outfit to life.
Blue Nile’s Triple-Strand Pearl Bracelet
If you’re someone who appreciates classic jewelry, you’ll adore this triple-strand freshwater pearl bracelet. Strung in parallel, and impeccably accented by a 14 kt white gold clasp, this pearl bracelet offers a unique blend of elegance, boldness, and timelessness.
It would look gorgeous paired with a black or shimmery gold or silver metallic cocktail dress. However, it doesn’t need to be worn with something an exceptionally glamorous a complimentary gown in order to make a statement.
Graff’s Cushion Cut Ruby Ring
Stunning from every angle, this high jewelry ring displays a 3.03 carat unheated Burmese ruby embraced by a halo of heart shaped diamonds. With its rich red hue and silver sparkle, this ring embodies the Christmas color palette beautifully.
